Conversion between DMS and decimal degrees:
\[DD = D + \frac{M}{60} + \frac{S}{3600}\]
Examples:
GeoPandas: Python package that extends pandas to represent geographic objects as GeoDataFrames
Key column: geometry, which represents the geometry type of the data (point, line, or polygon) and the sequence of coordinates
gp.GeoDataFrame(): function used to generate the GeoDataFrame, which can take an existing pandas DataFrame as its first argument
Parameters:
geometry: how to represent the data as a geographic object. We use the gp.points_from_xy() function here to “make” the geometry from existing Longitude and Latitude columns.crs: a code that specifies the dataset’s coordinate reference system. Most coordinate systems can be represented by 4- or 5-digit codes (see https://spatialreference.org/)Extension to the JSON format that encodes geographic coordinates for datasets
